Any help would be appreciated!

The driver code from Realtek uses some functions (kernel_thread() and daemonize()) that have been removed from newer kernels. Fortunately, a helpful person on Github has ported the Realtek driver to the new APIs that accomplish the same thing in 3.8+ kernels.

The port is available at: https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu

To install the ported driver (assuming you have git, build-essential and linux-headers-generic already), do:

git clone https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu.git
cd rt8192cu
make
sudo make install

Then, to unload the built-in driver that doesn't work (rtl8192cu) and load your new driver (8192cu):

sudo modprobe -r rtl8192cu
sudo modprobe 8192cu

To keep using your new driver instead of the built-in one, add this to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

blacklist rtl8192cu
